Mr. Gurango is saying exactly the opposite of what people are saying (and doing) in Europe and the U.S.

"For the first time, I have started to see major enterprises asking us to push Linux from a typical border role to something more strategic and inside the network .... Indeed, Gartner says more companies are using Linux to run business applications, databases and app servers, evolving beyond the single-purpose usage of the past, such as Web servers and security appliances"  - "Betting Big On Linux" ,  Var Business www.varbusiness.com April 5 2004  

Microsoft's testimonial to the Linux commercial threat  is the appointment of Martin Taylor, General Manager of Platform Strategy, to run the Linux counter-offensive. Taylor  reports  to Steve Ballmer.

Does Bill Gates know something that Joey Gurango doesn't?

Hehe... the way I see it, it's going to be the other way around for the
rest of the world. Although it might be true for the time being with the
Philippine setting...
